I ran across an interesting blog while cruising the ‘net the other day called Remarkable Lives:
Real People. Really Remarkable Lives.

Paige is working on a book that profiles some prominent people (like Lance Armstrong, Bill Clinton and Richard Branson, just to name a few) and how they got to where they are today. An interesting post gives some insight as to what the book might reveal.

Her discussion with Lance Armstrong revealed why he achieved the things he did:

“I worked harder than anybody else in the group in the race. I say to myself, I’ve worked harder than anybody else and I deserve to win. Work hard and get what you work for”. -Source

Paige has a way of writing that seems to transmit and optimism and success more so than than others. It’s almost inspirational!

If you’re stuck in the daily grind of 9 to 5, add Remarkable Lives to your blogroll. Paige may just have some inspiration for you.

I came across a blog post tonight that caught my attention as it is of similar topic to TheCornerOfficeBlog.

Finance Junkie writes about DRIPs, with interest in 3M, Bank of America, Yahoo, Exxon, among others. He’s also bringing in a little cash through Prosper.com loans.

However, after reading a little further, I realized that PluggedInFinance is blogging from Afghanistan! He’s a Navy guy who’s been converted to Army infantry to free up thinly-stretched personnel.

Check out his blog, and if anything drop him a quick email or comment!

Also, he enjoys handing out candy and supplies to the local Afghan kids, and is always looking for care packages, in particular, school supplies.

If you can help, drop him a comment or an email.
